Corrections Senior Inspector Purificacion Hari replaced Corrections Chief Inspector Lucio Guevarra as the new maximum compound superintendent.
The BuCor chief also announced that the 700 prison guards assigned to the maximum compound will be replaced by 335 new prison guards.
When asked why he chose to transfer some personnel from the Palawan penal facility to Bilibid, Catapang said he based the selection on the officers’ track record and performance. The BuCor chief also noted that 335 prison guards are enough to maintain the maximum security compound.
The BuCor chief said some of the guards might face administrative sanctions or criminal complaints, depending on their violations. Overall, the BuCor was able to file less than a hundred cases and complaints – both administrative and criminal – against erring officials and personnel since Catapang took over in October 2022.
“You will undergo retraining, and you will be assigned with other prison and penal farms,” Catapang said on Wednesday, addressing the sacked prison guards.
